“We are not going to spare anyone,” stressed the finance minister Kostis Hatzidakiss speaking to SKAI 100.3 on the occasion of the 19 illegal metal constructions and sunbeds that the competent authorities found in the sea as well as during an on-site inspection in the Agia Marina of Rhodes.
As the minister pointed out, the real estate agency immediately went to the scene and made it clear, we do not play with them, we will not give ourselves to five guys who are illegal on the beaches. We have been elected to change Greece.

In response to a question about the possibility of giving the EKAS Mr. Hatzidakis explained that our country spends 70 billion euros every year and 30 billion go to pensions. As he said, about half of them come from contributions and the rest from taxpayers.

He characteristically mentioned that whatever we give more will be found by the taxpayers…

Referring to freelancers, he said that for years 55% declared that “they earned less than their employees and even those who received the minimum wage and that is not very socially fair”.
As he explained, “we made a mild intervention so that they pay more than the average worker. It’s not pleasant, but it’s socially just.”

He noted that just 0.1% of those who have finalized their declarations have gone on to challenge their minimum annual income from business activity, explaining that to challenge something you need to have evidence.

In the controls of the AADEhe said, finds high rates of compliance, mentioning, however, that there are cases of freelancers who show the POS only to tax audits and not to citizens.
However, he emphasized that “we are trying to make life difficult for tax evaders”

Regarding the personal difference of pensioners, the minister said that the more increases are made in pensions, the more the personal difference is gnawed away.

He reminded that the prime minister has stated that an emergency aid will be given to support these people as much as the budget allows and it has already been given twice.
For this year he said “it is too early to say if it will be given saying we are trying to be serious so we are not open-handed”.
